Bruce Arians became the oldest head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl on Sunday, and there to help him celebrate was his 95-year-old mother, who flew in from Pennsylvania for the game.

During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Monday, Arians shared his mom's reaction to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV win.

"The couple days she was here, she kept saying, 'Chiefs are going down! Chiefs are going down!'" Arians, 68, recalled. "After the game, she said, 'Down, down, down! The Chiefs went down!'"

Arians also spoke about the Gatorade shower he received, admitting he was caught off-guard.

"It was like, I'm ready for it, but they got me. They got me," he said. "That (expletive) was cold, man was it cold."
